Egg brooding chart #2!



I did have to remove a few switches on 3/27. There were 16 changes that day-far more than usual- and the spreadsheet isn't handling it well. I will need to dig into the guts of it to figure out why it's acting up.

Thanks!

Movie of pics during the solar eclipse totality!

(movie)

Our totality started at 3:20 pm. The sun and moon were totally covered by clouds, but it went totally dark for 3 mins and 38 seconds and the temperature dropped about 10 degrees. I was watching from my backyard surrounded by my neighbors. I really wish we had been able to see the eclipse, but the total darkness was very cool!

Interestingly,  Neander left the eggs at 3:08 pm.



The 4 eggs were left uncovered for only a moment.



Nova took over incubation at 3:10 pm.



Nova did a lot of looking around as darkness descended for the little over 3 mins.



At 4:48 pm, Nova is still in th nest box dozing.

There may have been clouds covering the eclipse but we did get some amazing views on the cams!

 

The color of the sky/clouds to the east caught my eye in this one

Total Eclipse Day!

Sadly, clouds will be moving in so we probably won't get a great view.
